Frequently asked questions
What is a Moon sign?
The zodiac sign the Moon occupied when you were born. Astrologers associate it with emotions, instincts and what you need to feel secure.
Do I need my birth time for my Moon sign?
Often not. The Moon spends about two and a half days in each sign, so on most days one sign covers the whole day. If it changed signs on your birthday, we tell you the exact switch time so you can compare it with your birth time.
Why does my birthplace matter?
The place sets your time zone. The calendar day you were born on runs at different universal times in New York and in Tokyo, which can matter on a day the Moon changes signs.
